Low water shut down

[warren]

does any know of a product that would shut down pump if water level goes below a certain level. I know there are valves that automatically fill low water levels. That is not an option for me I’m looking for a product that would turn off pump if something goes wrong with filters/water fall leak or overflow that would drain pond when I’m not home to prevent it. I had an issue with something eating a hose and draining pond. He also likes to eat my power cords.

I have used the low water shut off switch made by little giant in the past.

Up in Thurmont is a fish hatchery they also have plants.
Good prices and you can pick out which ones you want.

Hi. Also you can try raising it up from the bottom of your pond a little. If there is a leak then all the water won't be pumped out.

I agree with cometkeith. I have my submersible pump on a rope which keeps the pump from settling to the bottom. If something goes wrong, there will still be water (below the pump location) for the fish to survive.

Just as a mention...When I rebuilt my pond I created an underwater wall so as to form two ponds in one. So, in case there was a hole in the liner or any other leak, one side will keep enough water to support the fish.

Well that’s a cool idea! I was thinking along similar lines, and built mine in “layers” so that the pump would never be directly on the bottom, and there would be a deeper area that would still hold water — sort of like shelves, but more like steps.
